i don't think romney was doing that. obviously, we had races where some people made big mistakes like that and hurt the party. i think we go back to our strength, which is the governors. we've got 30 governors in the country that are republican. we did a good job there. those are folks making it happen every day. they're getting in the nuts and bolts of growing an economy. if we look to our governors, that's always been the strength of the republican party. you see folks like a governor casic in ohio, governor martinez in new mexico, governfvernor ha in tennessee. >> msnbc analyst karen finney and republican strategist chip saltsman. i appreciate it. presidential hug making history. president obama tweeted out this picture of him hugging the first lady on election night. it quickly became the most popular image in twitter history. the photo was taken in a campaign rally over the summer and was been retweeted 788,000 times. >>> third time is the charm, right? the dress michelle obama wore on election night, maybe you reco

. >> yeah, the data drivenness of the romney campaign. erin, i'm sorry about the mike problems we were having. according to newhouse, the biggest problem was misjudging the voters who would turn out on election day who were a lot younger and a lot less white than the romney campaign had expected. as mitt romney had said, as he gave his one speech hope is not a strategy, is that the biggest lesson that they learned, that republicans can't hope for what the electorate is going to turn out to be on election day? >> yeah. look, the romney campaign thought that it would hit its targets and turn out the voters that they thought that they needed, but they did underestimate the kind of turnout that democrats were going to get. i think that's the bottom line. but i did speak to some romney campaign aides just yesterday who said that they were not particularly surprised in the outcome. they were looking at public polls. they heard about the obama campaign's internal polls, and they knew something was a little bit off. so i wouldn't say that they we

mitt romney will be here. something that president obama spoke of on election night in his victory speech in chicago, talked about getting together with mitt romney, a lot of speculation about when that would happen, whether it would be part of this campaign. we do know that this is a closed press event. we don't expect to see these two principals, these two former foes together at any point during the day. of course that could change. we really don't know. but he will be here for a private luncheon with the president tomorrow, thomas. >> do you think they'll exchange christmas gifts? >> i don't know. maybe that wine reserve -- well, maybe not wine reserve. it is mitt romney, after all. he does not drink. >> good point. >> i don't know. >> no beer summit on the horizon between those two. >> no white house home brew. >> mike viqueira at the white house for us, thanks so much. just moments away from the president's remarks. the big question is will his stance on the fiscal cliff matter to congress as both sides

if we go back initially when the incident first occurred of course mitt romney's initial reaction was to try to politicize this and say that the president was sympathizing with the other side. of course that didn't go over very well and then the next attempt was to try to say, well, the president was incompetent in terms of security but then it came out that the administration's attempt to get more funding for embassy security was cut by republicans in the house. so now we have a third attempt by the republicans to try to blame the president. in this case they're talking about the time line. you know how republicans are saying that the president lied. i think all americans want to see an honest investigation here about what happened. it is very important that something like this not happen again. the problem is if the republicans are seeking to politicize this, i don't think this is going to end very soon. >> from your sources jackie what are you hearing? what will bring resolution to this? >> again, i think we have -- secretary clinton is going to testify in the house. i imagine she'

wonder why is paul ryan still clofrping around on the same cement shoes that tanked his bid on the romney ticket and heading back to d.c. after it was a mandate that the nation spoke and put the president back in power? >> i think this largely speaks to political capital. and right now the president has a lot of political capital. i don't think he should waste that on someone like susan rice's nomination where it will be met with a ton of resistance, rightly or wrongly, that's not the point. he should use that political capital to try to ram through some of the things he's been talking about on the campaign trail for the last year, but even previous to that in 2008. paul ryan makes a good point, though. i do agree. i don't think the president has a mandate per se but a lot of political capital. just depends how he wants to spend it and the republicans, if they don't want to risk being insignificant for the next four years they need to come to the table with some honest, tough solutions and try and compromise on some issues as does the president and we can get this country moving forward.
